—Winter wheat la needing rain,
but the talk about It being badly
| damaged by the late hard freezing
weather Is all bosh. The other day
wo talked to a farmer who has been a
a successful wheat grower near Bluff
I City for fifteen years, and who last
[ year raised nearly 10,000 bushels, who
says his prospect Is as fine now for a
I crop as ho has ever had at this season
of the year. He believes In pustur-
I Ing and has over 100 head of cattle on
his wheat at this time. The wheat,
ho says, that has been pastured, thus
packlngtho dirt around the roots and
I covering some of It up, Is not dam-
aged In the least by the freeze, while
I that which has never been pastured
may have suffered some by reason of
the ground about the roots being
| dry, loose and porous, thus allowing
the cold air to reach well down to-
wards the bottom of the roots. The
Journal is confident that pasturing
wheat in fall and winter pays, but
as soon as spring opens in earnest
|and the first good shower of rain
falls, every hoof should be removed.
—Wednesday afternoon a most rc-
I markable procession was seen parad-
ing the town consisting of a new
wagon drawn by about all the boys
In town with the girls acting as
escort and headed by a drum and life
band, led by Bros.Savely and Kboades
In the wagon was enough groceries
and produce to slijrt a healthy whole
bouse, which soon fuuud their way
into the preacher’s kitchen. The
feelings of the preacher were so much
stirred that he failed to make
speech fitting the occasiou, and he
takes this opportunity of thauking
those many, many friends who
participated in this New Year’s
generosity. Ills chief difficulty Is to
know how to thank correctly the
kind donors, but he desires that each
one will receive God’s choicest bless-
ings for the coming New Year. The
number of packages donated was 80
varying from a cake of soap to a two
bushel.sack of potatoes. The value
was in the neighborhood of $20.
